A comparison
This is our first music video, we have noticed a big difference, making an analysis of our own music video has really helped us to improve our music video, further by watching other various music videos created by a-level media students has shown us positives and negatives of our own video. By doing this analysis in the process of creating our music video project has allowed us to draft over our own music video. The editing has taken the most time, however me and Lauren have worked very well in improving our video and handling our time management well.
This is our current music video at this time February 2013, we have changed some of the parts and we've tried to add unique scenes to our music video. It has been very difficult with us as our resources have been limited, however as you will notice the first video has lower quality than the second draft video, since we made the first draft video, we have moved our work to a better PC, this improved our video appearance. Through our analysis this showed us any of our mistakes and bad camera that we may done.
Digipak
It is January 29th I have just completed a full Digipak for the artist Andrew Manning, I used inspiration from other Digipaks and actual album covers. I have shown where my inspiration has come from in a previous post, this is shown in the post 'Digipak planning'. I used the images I took when me and Lauren went to various locations of London. I added a paragraph directly written from our artist Andrew, this is to allow our target audience to feel connected to the artist, also to make it more realistic.
Evaluating other student blogs
Whiles looking at the successes criteria, I think this music video would be a level 4, as they have completed good mise en scene, in terms of the artists facial make up, goes well the look of a rock star, as well as his hair styled the way they have chosen, this all goes with there chosen style, being a performance/concept music video. They also used fast pace editing, this allowed the video to flow. Further they used a variety of angles, such as long shot, high angles, low angles and extreme close ups.
Looking at the success criteria I would give this a level 2, good song choice and various different shots such as extreme close ups, long shots, and mid shots, however in some of the shots, the camera work has let them down, as they've cut out shoulders in the frame. Moreover the editing has is well crafted as its fast and links in with the fast speed of the song. However the reason I didn't say it is a level three, is because they don't add a lot of lip-syncing, where they have added some lip-syncing, this is only for a few seconds and then the shot immediately changes. The characters/ artists in the music video don't seem convincing as artists, they seem more of lovers in a music video, which they have acted out well, they convince an audience that they are a real couple.
I would give this a level 4, as they have taken a song and made created a juxtaposition with it, by making it the opposite to a 'perfect day'. Further the plan and simple setting they have chosen has worked because of the camera work, such as the above angles and long shots. The characters in the music videos, come across as convincing artists, the girl in the music video completed the lip syncing task well. I would say this is a finished piece. Lastly the editing of the music video came out well, as they didn't try to use many effects or make the video fast, it was mainly the filming and the good acting, setting which made it a good music video.
